HATCHBACK HEEL

This high heel is designed intentionally for driving, featuring an adjustable heel, which allows for safer and more comfortable driving. The avant garde styling encourages the user to look stylish while also creating a better experience while going on a drive.

HOW IT WORKS: the heel component is situated on a hinge, that allows for the heel to be flipped up into the sole of the shoe. This creates a more comfortable angle for the ankle, improving the range of motion of the foot.

While this heel was intended for driving, it functions as a normal high heel would. It is walkable and stable, while featuring the adjustability in addition to the look.
